I. Purpose The high importance of the public school system to communities is undisputed. We look to educational institutions to cultivate our young into productive and contributing members of society. When a public school system is successful in its mission, the community it serves is better able to compete in regional markets. Homebuyers and relocating businesses see quality schools as a top locational criterion. As such, there is a strong correlation between schools and the local tax base. Recognizing the significance of public school facilities in the achievement numerous community objectives, the 2005 Florida Legislature enacted legislation amending sections 163.3180 and 163.3177(12), Florida Statute. These sections mandate that local government comprehensive plans include a Public School Facilities Element which establishes concurrency requirements for public school facilities. The purpose of this element is to ensure adequate public school facilities in the City of Zephyrhills for existing and future school-age residents. Section 9J-5.025, Florida Administrative Code, sets forth the minimum content for the Public School Facilities Element. Per the requirements of this section, the element must address: Existing public school facility deficiencies; Public school facilities required to meet future needs; School level of service standards; A five-year schedule of school-related capital improvements that ensures adequate school capacity and is financially feasible; Provisions to ensure that public school facilities are: - located consistent with existing and proposed residential areas they serve, - used as community focal points, and - co-located with other public facilities; Mapping requirements (e.g., existing school sites, anticipated future school sites, ancillary facilities, and School Concurrency Service Areas); and School planning and concurrency goals, objectives, and policies. The Public School Facilities Element establishes public school facility level of service standards, concurrency management system procedures and coordination mechanisms between the governmental entity charged with providing public school facilities (i.e., District School Board of Pasco County) and those that regulate new development (i.e., Pasco County and the municipalities in Pasco County). These provisions serve to ensure that adequate facility capacity is available before or concurrent with the demand generated by new development. II. Existing Conditions Population Trends Table PSF-1 shows the current population estimate and projected population to year 2025 for the City and Pasco County as a whole. Growth rates in the City have continued to increase approximately 3.0 percent per year in the 1990s to approximately 0.5 percent per year in the 2000s. This trend is projected to continue over the 2020 Comprehensive Plan timeframe. Page PSF-1

Conversely, Pasco County had grown at a rate of approximately 5.0 percent annually since 2000. Countywide projections anticipated a slowing of this rate over the planning period.

Most growth has been in central and eastern Pasco County where land is abundant for new development. Growth in southeast Pasco is predominantly in the form of single family residential located on the perimeter of the City boundaries as well as infill and redevelopment in established neighborhoods. The City of Zephyrhills annexed approximately 1,000 acres that are planned for predominantly single family residential with a buildout of approximately 3,000 units. Residential development is the primary contributor to student population growth and, therefore, has the most significant impact on public school facilities. The 2000 US Census reported a total of 6,167 housing units within the City. Based on the 2000 population, the average household size in the City is 2.3 persons per household. The distribution of housing by dwelling type is shown below in Table PSF-2. The dominant housing type in the City is single-family, followed by multi-family.

Considering the projected population, average number of persons per household in the City, the existing inventory of dwelling units (minus demolitions) in the City, and a vacancy factor, the Shimberg Center has projected the construction needs for dwelling units by dwelling type through the year 2010. The analysis shown in Table PSF-3 predicts the single-family units and multi-family units will be needed to support the City s 2010 population which will be udated in 2008 through 2020.

This represents an approximate average of one student per every four households. Between 2002 and 2007, enrollment in Pasco County schools grew from 52,649 to 62,441 students, or by almost 19 percent. Table PSF-4 shows the trends in the last five years by school type. Though the overall trend shows an increase in student enrollment, school districts throughout Florida have been experiencing a decline in the annual percentage increases in enrollment. The drop in enrollment in 2005 could be partially the result of the lingering effect of the hurricanes in 2004 and the emigration of families to other parts of the state. The drop in the rate of growth in enrollment may be temporary, and it remains to be seen whether this is the beginning of a trend.

School Facilities Capacity and Utilization The School District of Pasco County currently operates 43 elementary schools, 14 middle schools and 11 high schools. Based on the 20-day count of enrolled students conducted each year by the District, the current enrollment, capacity and utilization of each school, by school type have been identified (see tables PSF-5 thru PSF-7). There are currently 57,455 permanent student stations available to accommodate the existing student of population of 63,451. This deficiency is accommodated through temporary classroom facilities, primarily in the form of relocatable classrooms. Currently, 16 of 40 elementary schools, six of 13 middle schools, and two of 10 high schools operate at an enrollment to capacity rate less than or equal to 100 percent.

III. Demand and Needs Analysis Student Generation Rates The student impact of proposed residential developments was assessed using established students generation trends by housing type in Pasco County. Methodology To determine student generation rate (SGR) trends, the inventory of Pasco County school facilities as of November 2006 was examined. The facilities included in the analysis were public schools, charter schools and education centers (see listing in Exhibits section of this element). Other facilities, such as Moore Mickens Adult Education Center and the Sheriff s Detention Center, were not included in the analysis. To determine student residency types and locations, October 2006 student enrollment data for school levels kindergarten through 12 th grade, charter schools and education centers in Pasco County were analyzed. In the analysis, student residential addresses were geocoded 1 and matched to physical addresses in Pasco County Property Appraiser s parcel data and the Pasco County Physical Address and GIS Address tables. The parcel identification numbers were tied to tax parcels in the Property Appraiser s DR-590 and Master Appraisal File (MAF) data for determination of property use, and to the Pasco County GIS cadastral layer for location determination 2. Where direct matches could not be made, attempts were made to identify a parcel in the immediate area that would have the same residential category. Only student records with high confidence levels in the residence type are considered to have been identified. Not all student records could be tied to a residence type or a location within the County. Some addresses were either out of the County, incomplete or irresolvable, such as records tied to a post office box. On some parcels, the matched tax parcel did not indicate a residential property use. Of the students with addresses in the County, 99 percent were tied to a residential category (see Table PSF-9). Table PSF-9 Student Residency Locations Pasco County Student Residency Residence Type Identified Residential Category Unclear Address Not in County Address Irresolvable Total Enrolled 62,337 536 450 47 63,370 Sources: Pasco County Property Appraiser DR-590 and Master Appraisal File and Pasco County Physical Address and GIS Address tables, 2006. For consistency, residential units countywide were assigned to housing categories based on their assignment of use by the Property Appraiser Master Appraisal File, with additional 1 Geocoding is the process of determining the geographic coordinates of each student address on a cadastral map. A cadastral map indicates the legal boundaries and the ownership of property, and was used to create a database and series of maps for the Pasco County public school facilities needs analysis. 2 The Master Appraisal File contains use codes for each building, while the DR-590 contains Florida Department of Revenue property use codes that indicate the clearest and best use of the tax parcel. Page PSF-10

information taken from the DR-590 and the Property Appraiser Apartment and Manufactured Home/Recreational Vehicle Park lists. Additional research was performed to determine property use and unit counts, as needed. The following are definitions of the three residential classifications. Mobile Homes (Manufactured Homes): Residential units assigned a 02 (Mobile Home) Master Appraisal File code and mobile home unit counts for parcels with a 28 (Mobile Home/RV Parks) DOR classification, including any additional counts taken from the Property Appraiser or Department of Health Mobile Home Park lists. Multi-Family: Single and multi-story residential properties assigned a 03 (Multi-Family with >4 Units/Bldg), 05 (Multi-Story Retirement Apartments) or 08 (Multi- Family with <5 Units/Bldg) Master Appraisal File code and those properties listed on the Property Appraiser Apartment list. Single Family: Residential units assigned with a 01 (Single Family Residential) or 07 (Single Family Villas) Master Appraisal File code and those properties with residences coded as 12 (Mixed Use: Stores/Office with Single Family Residential). Table PSF-10 shows Pasco County student counts by housing type and school level. A separate category was not used for properties having a formal Declaration of Condominium (Florida Department of Revenue classification of 04 Condominium) as the condominium classification does not indicate property use. Those parcels were assigned a classification based on usage detail in the Master Appraisal File. A listing of Department of Revenue and Master Appraisal File land use codes are provided in the Exhibits section of this element. Table PSF-10 Student Counts by School Level Type and Residence Category Pasco County Category Elementary Middle High Total Mobile Home 3,518 1,781 2,249 7,548 Multi-Family 2,666 1,126 1,388 5,180 Single Family 23,163 11,673 14,774 49,609 Total 29,347 14,580 18,410 62,337 Source: Florida Department of Revenue, Pasco County Property Appraiser and Pasco County, 2006. A number of communities in Pasco County have deed restrictions that forbid permanent residence by minors. A list of these communities is included in the Exhibits section of this element. Table PSF-11 displays the effect of these deed-restricted communities on the net dwelling units used to calculate the student generation rates. Because these deed-restricted communities do not contribute to the student population, dwelling unit types and counts for these communities were determined and then removed from the total number of units prior to calculating the student generation rates. To determine the SGRs, the total numbers of students in each residential category by school level type were divided by the net dwelling units for that residential classification. The SGRs for Pasco County by school level and housing category are shown in Table PSF-12. The planned type and number of dwelling units are multiplied by the appropriate SGR to estimate the projected student population in applicable School Concurrency Service Area.

Projected Public School Facility Demand Presently, the District uses the State s Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) student count along with the District s school-by-school cohort projections to develop public school facility demand projections. Several factors made projecting county student populations by school geography particularly challenging. First, evidence indicates that school enrollments throughout Florida are in a transition period. After many years of moderate to high growth, recent years have seen slower and even negative student growth in a number of Florida counties (refer to Figure PSF-4). Consequently, recent student projections have been dramatically scaled back as anticipated student and population growth in all age cohorts has fallen far short of actual numbers. A leading indicator of student growth is housing permit data. Table PSF-13 shows housing permit data for Pasco County over a ten year period. The slowdown in permit activity is a trend that is expected to continue in Pasco County in the near term.

Figure PSF-4 Student Enrollment Growth Rates, 1991-92 through 2005-06 Pasco County Source: Demographic Data for Decision Making, Inc. (2007) In times of population transition like the present, population projections are especially prone to miscalculation. With only one year of slowed growth observed, it is very difficult to predict the precise path that a future slowdown might take. A time-series approach using past growth rate trends is not reliable under such circumstances. The decline has not occurred over a long enough period to take such a statistical approach. Another demographic projection technique grade progression analysis also suffers. Past grade progressions based on relatively high student growth rates are not effective indicators of short-run future trends. A third approach uses future housing data and student generation rates to project future enrollments. This approach is not viable because Pasco County housing projections are not currently available. Florida Department of Education COFTE On an annual basis, the DOE publishes the Capital Outlay Full Time Equivalent (COFTE) enrollment projections for every grade in every school district in Florida for a 10-year period. The DOE employs a standard cohort survival method using five-year enrollment trends. The District relies on these projections for its five-year planning process. Table PSF-14 identifies the COFTE projected student growth through school year 2017/2018. Use of the COFTE projections for concurrency planning has several drawbacks including: The projections by the DOE are based on the average of two head counts, one in October and one in February. Thus, the COFTE tends to under project the number of high school students in the fall by factoring winter drop-outs in the spring count. For facilities planning, the District wants to insure that adequate classrooms are available for peak conditions in the fall semester and, therefore, prefers to use the October full-time equivalency (FTE) count to support facilities planning. The DOE forecast is not available until July of each year. Using the October count, the District is able to prepare a new forecast by spring. Page PSF-13

PSF-14 Department of Education COFTE Forecast Pasco County Page PSF-14

The DOE forecast does not count all students in the District s buildings and includes others that are not in District-owned buildings. For example, the DOE forecast excludes students in special or alternative schools or homebound settings. The District s enrollment for facilities planning purposes includes only students in regular schools. By contrast, the DOE forecast includes only pre-kindergarten students that are in special education (ESE), while the District provides prekindergarten programs for many non-ese students. Five Year Forecast The five-year forecast is the basis for the School District Educational Plant Survey and Five- Year Tentative Facilities Work Plan. The District develops the data and analysis for the Work Plan each spring for adoption during the following September. Enrollment projections are prepared using the DOE standard cohort model and the State of Florida birth projections. The District prepares the cohort projections for each school and for each grade, modifying information where boundary changes have affected trends or where staff has unique information of housing trends. Student Enrollment Projections In order to plan for the future student population in Pasco County, historic student enrollment growth rates were examined for the periods 2000-2005 and 2005-2006. The 2000-2005 period represented a period in which the rate of student growth often accelerated, while 2005-2006 showed a decline in the student enrollment growth rate. The differences between the two timeframes are depicted graphically in maps in the Exhibits section of this element (see exhibits PSF-5, PSF-8 and PSF-11 for 2000-2005 and exhibits PSF-6, PSF-9 and PSF-12 for 2005-2006). Higher student enrollment growth rates were applied to areas experiencing higher levels of residential growth. For areas approaching build-out, such as West Pasco, the rate of student enrollment was projected to be stabile or decline. Negative Growth Rates Of the 16 Pasco County schools with negative 2005-2006 residential student growth rates, 14 are elementary schools. These schools include Chasco, Calusa, Gulf Highlands, Mary Giella, Schrader, Lacoochee, Gulfside, Fox Hollow, Shady Hills, Deer Park, Trinity Oaks, West Zephyrhills, Pine View, and Hudson elementary schools, River Ridge Middle School and River Ridge High School. For each of these schools, the 2005-2006 negative growth rate was multiplied by the 2006 resident student count. The initial decline in student numbers was multiplied by 0.67 to get the final decline for the 2006-2007 year. This method was continued using the 0.67 multiplier each year to get the subsequent year s decline. For example, the 2005-2006 negative growth rate for Calusa Elementary was applied to its 2006 resident student population to obtain an initial decline of 64 students. This decline was multiplied by 0.67, indicating -43 students. For the subsequent year, the 43 student figure was multiplied by 0.67, indicating 29 students, and so on. The final 2016 projected resident student population for Calusa Elementary is 533 students, a decline of 127 students from 2006 student levels. The multiplication factor of 0.67 was chosen because it provided a more reasonable growth pattern and a more reasonable (negative) growth end point than a strict methodology. Page PSF-15

Modest Growth Rates There are 42 schools with relatively modest 2005-2006 residential student growth rates. In the calculations, the initial 2005-2006 positive growth number was replaced with a modified growth number. The modification was based on the fraction necessary to transform the initial overall 2005-2006 growth number into the actual overall 2005-2006 growth number obtained when the students with uncodable addresses were added back into the equations. For elementary schools, the adjustment constant was 0.8392, for middle schools the adjustment constant was 0.7702, and for high schools the adjustment constant was 0.878. School specific adjustment factors were not applied, and as a result the students with uncodable addresses were not assigned to their school of residence, only to their school level. This is the reason for using three separate adjustment constants. For example, the unmodified 2005-2006 growth rate was applied to yield an increase of 32 students at Sunray Elementary. When the number was multiplied by 0.8392, it showed a final 2006-2007 increase of 27 students. Then each following year, 27 more students were added to the prior year s total. This resulted in a final 2016 resident student projection of 1,202 students for Sunray Elementary, a gain of 269 students in ten years over the 2006 resident student count of 933. Exceptionally High Growth Rates Five of the Pasco County residential school geographies had exceptionally high 2005-2006 growth rates (growth rates that exceeded the median school growth rate by more than 2.5 times). This is a standard exploratory data definition for outlying and extreme values. Each school geography growth rate was analyzed and computed separately based, in large part, on demographic judgment, use of various weighted combinations of the 2000-2005 growth rate, the 2005-2006 growth rate and geo-coding adjustment factors. Using the methodology described in the foregoing, Pasco County s 2008 student population is projected to be 63,149, and the 2016 student population is projected to be 83,246 (The projection of students under the initial methodology was 64,807 in 2008, and 102,264 in 2016). Note: Projections of future resident students may contain a correction factor since future population projections are subject to economic and social conditions. Figures PSF-1, PSF-2 and PSF-3 of this element show the geographic distribution of the projected resident student growth rates in Pasco County. Future growth in the student population is anticipated to be concentrated in the south-central part of Pasco County. Table PSF-15 is a summary of the resident student population projections by school level and year. Figure PSF-14 in the Exhibits of this element shows detailed projections by individual school. Page PSF-16

Table PSF-15 Resident Student Population Projection Summary, 2007-2016 Pasco County School Level 2007 2008 2010 2015 2016 Elementary 29,823 30,811 32,920 38,490 39,622 Middle 18,514 19,082 20,232 23,727 23,727 High 14,812 15,378 16,506 19,332 19,898 Total 63,149 65,271 69,65 80,965 83,247 Source: Demographic Data for Decision Making, Inc., 2007. Indications support a decline, or slowing, of Pasco of the Pasco County student growth rate in the short run. However, the methodology employed does not have a non-arbitrary way of reintroducing a growth rate rebound into the projected counts. It is reasonable to believe that such a rebound is likely to begin sometime around 2008 to 2011, followed by an eventual growth rate decline when building in Pasco County begins to saturate currently zoned residential properties. Level of Service Standards An integral component of a concurrency management system is the level of service standard. For public school facilities, the level of service standard is created by comparing school capacity to enrollment for each school type. Chapter 163.3177(12)(c), FS, requires that the Public School Facilities Element be based upon data and analysis that address, among other things, how level of service standards will be achieved and maintained. The prescribed level of service standards for public school facilities are set forth in the City s Public School Facilities and Capital Improvements elements as well as in the Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities, as amended. The level of service standards are used to establish maximum permissible school utilization relative to the total capacity within a geographic SCSA. An essential component of determining the level of service standard for the geographic areas of the SCSAs is the ability of the District to adopt a financially feasible capital program that can achieve and maintain the level of service standards by school type for each SCSA. The level of service standards serve to ensure that new or expanded school facilities are built in time to accommodate students generated from new residential development. If capacity does not exist to support students generated by new development, both the new students and the schools are burdened by the resulting overcrowding. Based upon permanent capacity, as determined by the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH), the level of service standards determined to be financially feasible for Pasco County School Concurrency Service Area schools are: Elementary schools 115% of permanent FISH capacity Middle schools 115% of permanent FISH capacity High schools 105% of permanent FISH capacity Alternative Educational Facilities: 70% of permanent FISH capacity These level of service standards, adopted by school type countywide and measured within each Page PSF-17

SCSA, are based upon a financially feasible School District Capital Improvements Plan. Long Term Concurrency Management The Florida Legislature established in Chapter 163.3180(9)(a), FS, a concurrency management system to address long-term needs of capacity where significant facility backlogs exist. As expressed in the statutes, each local government may adopt as a part of its plan, a long-term school concurrency management system with a planning period of up to 10 years for specially designated areas where backlogs exist. The plan may include interim level of service standards on certain facilities and shall rely on the local government schedule of capital improvements for up to 10 years as a basis for issuing development orders that authorize development in designated backlog areas. The long-term school concurrency management system must be designed to correct existing deficiencies and set priorities for addressing backlogged facilities. The long-term school concurrency management system must also be financially feasible and consistent with other portions of the Comprehensive Plan. Table PSF-16 shows the long-term utilization for Elementary School SCSA 2, which is the only SCSA indicated to exceed its level of service standard (115% of FISH capacity). As such, a long-term concurrency management plan is required to correct the projected deficiencies in this SCSA. Through implementation of the long-term concurrency management plan, SCSA 2 is anticipated to achieve the level of service standard at the end of the 10-year planning period.

Tables PSF-17, PSF-18 and PSF-19 identify the elementary, middle, and high schools located in each SCSA, their existing capacity, their current enrollment and their projected enrollment for the current five-year planning period. Table PSF-17 also identifies capacity and current and projected enrollment through school year 2017/2018. School Concurrency Service Areas A School Concurrency Service Area (SCSA) serves as the regulatory geographic delineation within which the adopted level of service is measured, and is an essential requirement for the application of concurrency. When applying concurrency on a less than district-wide basis, local governments and school districts need to demonstrate that school capacity is maximized to the greatest extent possible. The Florida Statutes permit a district-wide level of service for school concurrency for the first five years of a school concurrency program. Following the initial five years, there is a requirement that SCSAs be developed on a less than district-wide basis if not already established with the initiation of school concurrency. For Pasco County, less than district-wide SCSAs are established. SCSA groupings for elementary, middle and high schools Page PSF-18

are divided into two SCSAs for each school type. There are two SCSAs established for elementary schools, and two SCSAs for both middle schools and high schools. The two SCSAs per school type are each unique and are divided along school attendance boundaries. Formulation of SCSAs Based on coordination with School District financial officers and the student growth and capacity needs projections, groupings by school type served as the basis for two SCSA per school type. To establish the geographic area for measuring the levels of service for school concurrency, the following steps were used to create SCSA boundaries. School District Planning Areas and attendance area boundaries, coupled with the fiscal realities of the School Board capital budget, serve as the basis for creating the two SCSAs for each school level. The Planning Areas are established for each school type in order to track growth trends in the various parts of the County and to aid in projecting where and when to build additional schools. These Planning Areas are the aggregation of attendance boundaries by school type for several schools that are geographically located in the same part of the County and which share similar growth patterns. The grouped school attendance boundaries by school type by Planning Area were grouped and dissolved into two shapes, creating two SCSAs for each school type. These groupings resulted in the creation of 2 SCSAs for elementary schools. School District staff determined that for middle and high school types, dividing the County into two SCSAs would also serve best for measuring public school facility level of service. The two SCSAs are essentially a north-south geographic split of the County. The southern SCSA is an aggregation of the school attendance boundaries along the high growth SR 54 corridor. The northern SCSA is an aggregation of the school attendance boundaries in the more stable growth areas of the north and west. Tables PSF-17, PSF-18, and PSF-19 and maps PSF-4, PSF-5, and PSF-6 indicate the assignment of Pasco County schools by SCSA.

Public School Facility Needs School Facilities Long Range Plan (10 and 20 Years) The school facilities identified in Table PSF-20 represent capacity projects needed to ensure the availability of satisfactory student stations for the projected student enrollment during two timeframes. The periods addressed include the five year period beyond the Five-Year District Facilities Work Plan and the long-term planning period (years 11 through 20). The greatest school facility need in Pasco County is for additional elementary schools. There are 14 elementary schools scheduled to open between 2008 and 2016, but only three of these are located west of the Suncoast Parkway. Four elementary schools are planned for the central portion of the County, between the Suncoast Parkway and I-75, and the remaining seven elementary schools are planned east of I-75. Map # 8.2 Proposed Schools and Ancillary Facilities shows the proposed locations of schools in Pasco County through the planning period. All of the schools depicted will be located within unincorporated area. The projected locations for schools are consistent with the cohort student population forecasts for unincorporated Pasco Page PSF-20

County. Currently, there are no plans for school closures or disposition of facilities or facility space during the planning period. School Facilities and Ancillary Plants Site Area Standards The anticipated land area requirements for the School District will continue to make use of a range of site sizes for public schools depending on location, facility needs and physical constraints of the site (e.g., wetlands). The average elementary school ranges in size from 15-30 acres, with an average size of 20 acres. The size range for middle school sites is between 25-45 acres, with an average size of 33 acres. High schools require the largest sites, with an average site size of 61 acres. The ancillary plants will rely on the type of facility operation, as well as the natural features present at a site, to determine site sizes. School sites purchased prior to January 1, 2008, are deemed consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the residential areas they serve. Necessary, supporting on-site and off-site infrastructure costs associated with new schools will be shared to the extent determined through negotiations with the School District, in proportion to the benefit derived by the parties. The negotiation process is defined in the Interlocal Agreement, as amended. Page PSF-21

Public School Facility Summary School utilization was determined for each school for the 2008/09-2012/13 planning period. Tables PSF-21, PSF-22 and PSF-23 display utilization expected for elementary, middle and high schools through the five-year planning period. By the end of the planning period, the middle schools and the high schools will have utilization rates that will enable the achievement of the adopted level of service for the School Concurrency Service Areas (SCSAs) of their respective school types. Only the elementary school SCSA 2 will not have met the adopted levels of service at the end of the five-year planning period. However, as is described later in this Report, the elementary school SCSA 2 will be subject to a long-term concurrency management program. The City and the School District will continue to work in collaboration to address school capacity and site needs in conjunction with residential development trends. Elementary Schools Middle Schools High Schools The level of service for elementary school SCSAs is 115 percent of permanent FISH capacity. There are currently 43 elementary schools in Pasco County. Table PSF-21 displays the utilization rates for each school from the current year through the planning period. Reviewing utilization rates per school and the level of service by SCSA, all elementary school SCSAs at the end of the five-year planning period are projected to be 111 percent. Pasco County Schools has established a long-term concurrency management system to meet the adopted level of service standard for SCSA 2, which does not meet the adopted level of service standard. This allows the District additional time to meet the adopted level of service standard for elementary schools. The long-term concurrency management system is explained in greater detail in a later section of this Report. Middle school SCSAs are recommended to have a level of service of 115 percent of permanent FISH capacity. There are currently 14 middle schools in operation, as shown in Table PSF-22. In reviewing both utilization rates per school, and the level of service of grouped schools by SCSA, seven will have utilization rates above 100 percent in SY 2008/09. By the end of the planning period in SY 2012/13, one middle school will have been added, but the overall utilization rate for middle schools will increase from 96 percent to 111 percent, still within the level of service standard for middle school SCSAs. The level of service standard for the two high school SCSAs in Pasco County is 105 percent of permanent FISH capacity. Two high schools will be added over the course of the planning period, contributing to the overall reduction in utilization for high schools from 111 percent to 104 percent, which is within the adopted level of service standard for high school SCSAs. Over the course of the planning period, high schools will experience the greatest reduction in utilization among the three school types. There are 11 high schools within the County, and only two of those currently have a utilization rate of less than 100 percent. Table PSF-23 displays the utilization rates for high schools within Pasco County. Page PSF-27

Other Schools Though not subject to concurrency, there are four other schools within Pasco County that offer curricula for any student in Pasco County, on a countywide basis. The three education centers and one technical center provide alternatives to the traditional three school levels (elementary, middle, high). These schools utilization rates are displayed in Table PSF-23 as ratios of enrollment to capacity, but they are not factored into County level of service calculations for SCSAs. Enrollments for these schools are based on the number of students who need their services. IV. Other Public School Facilities Planning Issues Co-Location and Shared-Use Analysis Co-location and shared use of community facilities are important to local governments and the School District for the fiscal and community building advantages they convey. The City will consider opportunities for co-location and shared use of facilities, as well as the creation of community focal points through these facilities, when updating the Comprehensive Plan and planning for new, expanded or renovated community facilities. The School District also will explore these opportunities when preparing its Educational Plant Survey. In 2002, Pasco County conducted the Feasibility Study for the Co-Location of Schools, Parks, and Libraries in Pasco County (included in the Exhibits section of this element). The study determined the feasibility of co-location opportunities through the development of criteria based on existing conditions and future siting needs. The study was a precursor to a master plan for siting community facilities including schools, parks and libraries. The potential co-location of several schools within parks, libraries and other facilities were identified. Figure PSF-5 shows the possible co-location sites within East Pasco and Map PSF-1 in Appendix C displays co-location opportunities countywide. The study acknowledges that the decision to co-locate must ultimately be based on efficiencies and safety. Coordination for colocation will be ongoing and addressed as opportunities and needs arise. Development Opportunity Co-location is intended to provide efficient use of existing infrastructure and create opportunities for schools to serve as community focal points. Identification early in a budget cycle and coordination among agencies will promote successful and effectively utilized public facilities. Cost effective co-location or joint use of School District or local government owned property could provide substantial savings for public facilities for existing and future facilities. Additionally, School concurrency can provide opportunities to consider proportionate share options for the School District, local governments and developers, and may include parks and libraries near a planned public school. Mutual Use Agreements For each instance of co-location and opportunity for a school to serve as a focal point of a community through shared use, the School Board and local government shall enter into a Page PSF-28

Public School Facilities Element separate mutual use agreement addressing legal liability, operating and maintenance costs, the scheduling needs of each party involved in the agreement, facility supervision and any other issues that may arise from co-location and joint use opportunities. Page PSF-29

IV. Plan to Meet Needs The ability to achieve and maintain adopted level of service standards for public school facilities must be based on the financially feasible School District Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan. The School District reviews its capital needs on an on-going basis via the Capital Improvement Plan. School capacity is added in accordance with the annually adopted financially feasible Five-Year Capital Plan (short-term) and the long-term planning period (10 and 20 years). The School District Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan demonstrates that the adopted level of service standards will not be exceeded within each SCSA for the five-year period. School District Five-Year Tentative Facilities Work Program The School District Five-Year Tentative Facilities Work Program is the foundation of an annual planning process that allows the District to effectively address changing enrollment patterns, development and growth. It is updated and adopted on an annual basis, and provides details of district-wide capital improvement needs, funding availability and a proposed schedule for addressing the improvements. Identified in the Five-Year Tentative Facilities Work Program are proposed capital projects needed to address existing and projected school facility capacity needs. The School District Five-Year Capital Improvement Program is an expansion and reformatting of the State mandated Five-Year Tentative Facilities Work Program. The goal of the Capital Improvement Plan is to encourage community support and understanding, and ultimately to assure public accountability through a financially feasible Capital Plan that achieves and maintains the adopted level of service standard for the end of the five year period and the long term planning period. The School District Capital Improvements Plan must be adopted on annually basis into the Capital Improvements Element of local government comprehensive plans. The School District Capital Improvements Plan serves as the required financially feasible plan and demonstrates how the School District will achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards for public school facilities. Table PSF-24 provides a listing of the capacity projects in the School District Capital Improvements Plan, adopted September 2007. The listing indicates the schedule for capital outlay projects and expenditures necessary to ensure the availability of satisfactory classrooms for the projected student enrollment for each school for the five-year planning period. Table PSF-22 provides project descriptions of major renovations, remodeling projects and additions of capital outlay projects that do not add capacity to schools. Page PSF-30

Table PSF-28 20-Year Maintenance Costs, 2011/12 2016/17 Pasco County School District SOURCE: Pasco County School District Work Plan, 2007-2008. Revenue Sources The School District is responsible for funding the capital needs of public schools in Pasco County. The School District utilizes a variety of State and local revenue sources to provide for capital needs. Local funding sources may include millage (maximum 2-mil local property tax), school impact fees, Certificates of Participation (COPs), which do not require voter approval, short term loans, voter-approved General Obligation Bonds and sales tax revenue. In addition to the local funding sources, the School District seeks the maximum available state funding provided through Public Education and Capital Outlay (PECO) funds and other state revenue sources such as Capital Outlay and Debt Service (CO & DS) and Class Size Reduction (CSR) appropriations. State capital outlay funding sources are derived from Motor Vehicle License Tax revenue, CO, DS and gross receipts tax revenue from utilities (PECO). However, State funds represent less than 10 percent of the School District s capital needs. Page PSF-35

The mandate for smaller class sizes has resulted in the availability of additional state funding. Techniques that help reduce the need for additional permanent student stations include acceptable school capacity levels, redistricting, busing, year-round schools, charter schools, magnet schools, public-private partnerships, multi-track scheduling, grade level organization, block scheduling or other alternatives. The School District has reduced the need for permanent student stations in the past by approving charter schools. The School District approved the expansion of one high school, adding eight hybrid classrooms and 200 permanent student stations. Also, students in grades 11 and 12 may enroll full-time in dual credit college courses. Table PSF-29 Total Revenues for Pasco County Schools, 2007/08 2011/12 Pasco County School District SOURCE: Pasco County School District Work Plan, 2007-2008. Page PSF-36

The District has the legal authority to utilize up to 1.5 mils of the 2.0 capital tax to fund the debt service or COPs issues. In general, funding available from State and local sources, including the issuance of long-term debt and the continuation of school impact fees, will be evaluated annually to determine the financially feasibility of the capital plan in order to meet the long-term concurrency management plan of the District. Table PSF-30 Total Revenues Summary, 2007/08-2011/12 Pasco County School District SOURCE: Pasco County School District Work Plan, 2007-2008. Table PSF-31 is a general summary of the School District s planned capital expenditures and revenues for new construction and remodeling projects only over the five year period from 2007/08-2011/12. The total revenues and expenditures over the five year planning period total over $209 million. The School District s Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan demonstrates financial feasibility, as the total costs do not exceed the total revenues in each year, as well as over the five year planning period.

Interlocal Agreement for School Planning The implementation of the Public School Facilities Element involves numerous activities, the most extensive of which is the implementation of the Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities, as amended (see Exhibits section of this element). The Interlocal Agreement between the School District and the local governments for coordinated planning and development of public school facilities demonstrates a commitment by all parties to work together toward resolving needs. The Interlocal Agreement provides the foundation for successful coordination for the co-location for schools, parks and libraries, including the desirability of using existing and planned elementary schools for neighborhood parks. Debt Service Obligations The projection of debt service obligations for currently outstanding bond issues is $195,532,804. At the end of the five-year period (2011-2012), the School Board has a debt capacity of $72,925,130, assuming 0 percent growth; $131,479,122, assuming a 2.5 percent growth rate; and is $180,446,660, assuming 5 percent growth rate. Cost Sharing for Infrastructure Needs Coordination for school planning between local governments and the District will improve the efficiency of site selection and construction of new schools. For example, an affected local government may participate in the District s site review to jointly determine needs for and timing of on-site and off-site improvements for a new school. Student growth projections may indicate future need for land acquisition for schools when it is available at a reasonable cost. The School District s projected student growth requires the School Board to obtain land for future use when it is available at a reasonable cost and plan for school and infrastructure construction when school capacity is needed proximate to residential development. Analyzing the infrastructure needs of planned school sites is necessary, consistent with the Interlocal Agreement, as amended. With this process, shared funding for capital improvements for school sites can be determined according to the responsibility of each party for each specific school site, projected impacts, and benefits derived to each party for each specific school site. An affected local government may coordinate with District staff to perform its own technical review of a site, allowing joint determination of needs and timing for on-site and off-site improvements necessary to support Page PSF-38

new schools. Necessary infrastructure coordination may include: potable water lines, sanitary sewer lines, drainage systems, roadway improvements including turn lanes, traffic signalization and signage, site lighting, bus stops, and sidewalks. Through City and District coordination, school concurrency costs may be met and proportionately shared by all affected parties consistent with the Interlocal Agreement, as amended, and the School District s ability to maintain a financially feasible capital plan. These improvements are assessed at the time of site plan preparation. Developer agreements could address timing and responsibility for construction, as well as operation and maintenance of required on-site and off-site improvements. Such improvements should be in keeping with the District s financially feasible Capital Improvements Plan and must be consistent with the 2008 Amended Interlocal Agreement. Other cost-effective measures could be considered by local governments in the development of neighborhood plans and review of proposed large-scale residential developments. At these junctures, local governments can encourage private sector participation in meeting future school needs. Such developer participation may include land donation, site preparation, acceptance of stormwater from future school facilities into a private stormwater management system, reservation or sale of school sites at pre-development prices, construction of new school facilities or renovation of existing school facilities and provision of transportation alternatives.

VI. Goals, Objectives and Policies Introduction Pursuant to sections 163.3180(13)(a) and 163.3177(12), FS, and Section 9J-5.025, FAC, the following represents the Public School Facilities Element Goals, Objectives and Policies of the City of Zephyrhills. These directives herein mandate a comprehensive focus on school planning especially as it relates to planning and permitting developments that affect school capacity and utilization rates. The goal of this element is intended to establish the desired long-term end to which school planning objectives and policies of the community are ultimately directed. Implementation Unless otherwise stated, the implementation of objectives and policies contained in this Section shall be through the development, adoption and application of the regulations set forth in the Zephyrhills Land Development Code and the Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities (May 2003), as amended by the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement adopted on June 23, 2008. GOAL PSF 1 To maintain a public school system that offers a high quality educational environment, provides accessibility for all of its students and ensures adequate school capacity to accommodate enrollment demand in the City. Level of Service Standards Objective PSF 1.1 Incorporate public school facilities level of service standards for each School Concurrency Service Area into the Concurrency Management System and coordinate with the District School Board of Pasco County to address school facility deficiencies within the period covered by the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements and the long-term planning period. Policies PSF 1.1.1 Consistent with the Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities, as amended, and based upon permanent capacity as determined by the Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH), the following level of service standards are established for each School Concurrency Service Area: a. Elementary schools: 115% of (FISH) capacity b. Middle schools: 115% of FISH capacity c. High schools: 105% of FISH capacity d. Alternative Educational Facilities: 70% of FISH capacity Page PSF-41

PSF 1.1.2 The City hereby establishes a Long-Term Concurrency Management System based upon permanent capacity as determined by the Florida Inventory of School Houses and as authorized in Section 163.3180(9)(a), Florida Statutes, within the designated Long-Term School Concurrency Management Service Area. The 10-year Long- Term Concurrency Management System shall apply to, and be effective in, Elementary School SCSA 2. Long-Term Concurrency Management Plan SCSA 2 Year Interim Level of Service Standard Year Interim Level of Service Standard 2008-2009 112% 2013-2014 125% 2009-2010 110% 2013-2015 109% 2010-2011 110% 2015-2016 108% 2011-2012 121% 2016-2017 112% 2012-2013 127% 2017-2018 111% PSF 1.1.3 The City hereby adopts less than district-wide School Concurrency Service Areas (SCSAs) which serve as a basis to establish separate elementary school middle school and high school SCSAs in which to measure the level of service standards. The SCSAs for elementary, middle, and high schools are set forth in the Public School Facilities Element Map Series in of this Comprehensive Plan. PSF 1.1.4 The City, in conjunction with the District School Board of Pasco County and the municipalities, shall require that prior to adopting a modification to a School Concurrency Service Area (SCSA), the following standards will be met: a. The adopted level of service standards will be achieved and maintained by the end of the five-year planning period or, for any SCSAs subject to a long-term School Concurrency Management System, by the end of the ten-year planning period. b. The utilization of school capacity shall be maximized to the greatest extent possible, taking into account transportation costs, court approved desegregation plans and other relevant factors, but not require the use or implementation of double sessions or a 12-month school year by the School Board. c. At such time as the School Board determines that a SCSA change is appropriate considering the above standards, the School Board shall transmit the proposed change with supporting data and analysis to the City. d. The City shall review the proposed SCSA boundary and provide comments to the School Board. e. Any proposed change to a SCSA shall become effective upon final approval by the School Board. review of residential development to determine if school facilities will be available, pursuant to the five-year and the long-term planning periods, at the adopted levels of service standards for students generated by the development. Page PSF-42

Policies PSF 1.2.1 The City, in coordination with the District School Board of Pasco County, shall establish criteria in the Concurrency Management System for determining residential uses that are exempt from the requirements of school concurrency. PSF 1.2.2 The City shall require a School Impact Analysis to be submitted for residential development applications that are not exempt from school concurrency for review by the District School Board of Pasco County. PSF 1.2.3 The District School Board of Pasco County shall review each School Impact Analysis, in the order received, to determine whether capacity at the adopted level of service standards for each type of schools is available to support the projected students generated by the development. a. In determining the availability of school capacity, the School Board shall first review the available capacity within the directly impacted School Concurrency Service Area (SCSA). In the event that capacity is not available in the directly impacted SCSA, the SCSAs adjacent to the directly impacted SCSA shall be reviewed for available capacity at the adopted levels of service standard. If said capacity exists, a Concurrency Determination Letter shall be issued by the School Board. b. If the School Board determines that capacity at the adopted level of service standards is not available in all SCSAs reviewed, the School Board shall issue a Preliminary Concurrency Deficiency Letter and provide an opportunity for the applicant/developer to negotiate Proportionate Share Mitigation. PSF 1.2.4 The City shall coordinate with the District School Board of Pasco County during the negotiation of Proportionate Share Mitigation options with the applicant/developer and, upon reaching agreement, the City, School Board and applicant/developer shall enter into an enforceable and binding agreement as specified in the Interlocal Agreement Implementing School Concurrency. a. Any Proportionate Share Mitigation must be directed by the School Board to a school capacity project identified in the capital improvement schedule in the District Facilities Work Program (DFWP) and in the City s Capital Improvement Element to maintain financial feasibility based upon the adopted level of service standards. If a capacity project does not exist in the DFWP, the School Board may, in its sole discretion, add a capacity project to satisfy the impacts from a proposed residential development, as long as financial feasibility of the DFWP can be maintained. b. Proportionate Share Mitigation options include, but are not limited to: (i) (ii) Contribution of land for an entire school site meeting the applicable School Siting Standards or adjacent to an existing school site. Provision of additional Permanent Student Stations through the donation of buildings for use as a primary or alternative public school facility, provided that such building meets State Requirements for Educational Facilities Page PSF-43

standards and provided that such student stations are not relocatables or other temporary classrooms; (iii) Provision of additional Permanent Student Stations through the renovation of existing buildings for use as public school facilities; or (iv) Construction of Permanent Student Stations or Core Facilities; or (v) Construction of a school in advance of the time set forth in the DFWP; or (vi) Creation of mitigation banking based on the construction of a public school facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity created; or (vii) Construction of a charter school designed in accordance with School Board standards, providing Permanent Student Stations. Use of a charter school for mitigation must include provisions for its continued existence, including but not limited to the transfer of ownership of the charter school property and/or operation of the school to the School Board; or (viii) The contribution of funds or other financial or financing initiatives acceptable to the School Board to ensure that the financial feasibility of the DFWP can be maintained by the implementation of the mitigation options; or (ix) The contribution of funds or other financial or financing initiatives acceptable to the School Board to ensure that infrastructure improvements to support a public school facility that are the obligation of the School Board will be in place when necessary. PSF 1.2.5 No later than December 1, 2008, the City shall amend the Concurrency Management System in the Land Development Code to include school concurrency provisions in accordance with Section 163.3180(13)(b), Florida Statutes, and the adopted Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities. PSF 1.2.6 The City shall continue to implement the Interlocal Agreement for Coordination of Planning Activities among the City, Pasco County, the municipalities and the District School Board of Pasco County, dated May 2003, as amended from time to time, and as more recently revised by the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement adopted by the City on June 23, 2008. School Capital Facilities Planning Objective PSF 1.3 No later than December 31st of each year, include in the Capital Improvements Element the annually updated District School Board of Pasco County Five-Year Capital Improvements Program, or Ten-Year Capital Improvements Program for School Concurrency Service Areas subject to a Long Term School Concurrency Management System, which identifies the school facility capacity projects necessary to address existing deficiencies and meet future needs based upon the adopted levels of service standards. Policies Page PSF-44

PSF 1.3.1 The City shall annually update and amend the Capital Improvements Element to reflect the school facilities level of service standards and to include the adopted District School Board of Pasco County Five-Year Capital Improvements Program, as annually amended, which serves to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards for schools. PSF 1.3.2 The City shall annually update and amend the Capital Improvement Element to reflect the ten-year concurrency management system and District School Board of Pasco County s development of a financially feasible plan to achieve and maintain the adopted level of service standards for SCSAs that have a backlog within ten years. As necessary, the City will also consider annual updates to the Public School Facilities Element based on, but not limited to, changes in enrollment and capacity data and revisions to School Concurrency Service Area maps. PSF 1.3.2 By adopting the five or ten-year capital improvement schedule of the District Facilities Work Program (DFWP) into the Capital Improvements Element, the City shall have neither obligation nor responsibility for funding the DFWP. PSF 1.3.3 The City shall coordinate the annual review of the Public School Facilities Element with the School Board, pursuant to PSF 1.3.1 and PSF 1.2.6.
